• If your PA-1003 drifts backwards,push and release the FORWARD TRIM button in the same manner until the problem is resolved (see diagram).
  

• From time to time you may have to adjust the FORWARD or BACKWARD TRIM buttons to ensure the PA-1003 will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.

Banking Left/Right Trim

• If your PA-1003 is not steadily hovering and is banking to the left or right automatically, you may need to adjust the LEFT BANK or RIGHT BANK Trim N buttons.

• If your PA-1003 banks to the left,push and release the RIGHT BANK TRIM button repeatedly until the banking stops and proper flight is maintained.

• If your PA-1003 banks to the right,push and release the LEFT BANKTRIM button in the same manner until the problem is resolved (see diagram ).
  

• From time to time you may have to adjust the LEFT and RIGHT BANK TRIM to ensure the PA-1003 will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.

NOTE: The use of the Trim buttons utilizes sounds. A single long Beep indicates the product is center trimmed. When there’s no sound when press the trim means the product is trimmed to the maximum on a particular side.

CALIBRATING THE PA-1003

NOTE: Your PA-1003 comes per-calibrated out of the box so you are ready to fly. After several crashes and shocks to your gyro sensors, you may notice that your drone is drifting and can not hold its center position as well as it used to. This most likely means that you need to recalibrate your PA-1003. Please follow the simple instructions below.

1. Place the PA-1003 on a flat level surface
2. Make sure the PA-1003 is on and that the controller is synced (refer to syncing ). Do not start the blades. Instead move both the throttles and control stick down and to the right corner (see diagram). You will see the lights on the drone rapidly flash and stop. Once the lights stop flashing you have completed your calibration and are ready to fly!

TROUBLE SHOOTING: If you do not see the lights flash, first remove the battery from the drone then turn off your controller and start again. Always make sure to put your battery in first, then turn on your controller.
Push the left throttle stick up all the way and then pull back down again. When you hear the beep the PA-1003 is synced to the controller and you are ready to calibrate.
